We started off the month wondering if
the snow every go away? I understand a good snow pack in the
mountains is essential for water through the summer months… but
what about at our house? Why was there still 2 feet of snow in our
yard? Even the kids were getting whiny about it, and they love the
snow! I wasn’t complaining. I finally got out more on my skis and
loved every minute of it, even when it was raining at Soldier Hollow.
I did explore a fun place called Round Valley that is groomed
nightly for cross country skiing. Did I mention it’s free?!
Thanks to the generous tax payers of Park City, us poor Heber Valley
residents only have to drive a short way up the hill to their groomed
tundra. I did feel out of place for NOT skiing with a dog.
It snowed a lot on my birthday, which
worked out well for skiing with Vanessa and Nora. Bevan got me some
(used) powder skis for my birthday and I was able to finally try them
out. I’ve been using the same heavy skis since…well… we got
married! He knew I needed a change. How sweet. Poor Nora banged up
her knee but she acted so tough and skied the rest of the day. I
would’ve been crying. That night, Bevan had reservations for
Seafood Buffet. It was annoying driving to Deer Valley twice in the
same day, but it was so worth it! They brought back the BIG crab
legs this time, and the roasted duck! Still no sushi or scallops,
but maybe next year? I think I drank too much water during dinner,
so I got full really fast, but then kept eating. Yes, I had trouble
sleeping that night. It was still a great way to end my birthday!
After that, the snow started melting
fast! Within 2 weeks, it was gone from our yard. We were able to go
to the park without snow pants and boots for once! Is Spring really
here for good?
